Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, William Haseltine refined his skill as a painter when he joined other American artists studying in Dusseldorf, Germany, from 1855 to 1858. That year he established a studio in New York’s Ten Street Studio Building, where Frederic Edwin Church, Albert Bierstadt, and Worthington Whittredge also worked, and furthered his reputation as a landscape painter with regular exhibitions. In Coast of New England, he depicts a favorite scene, the shoreline of New England. He is also known for his landscapes of Italy, northern Europe, and the American West.
